Default Ops Monsoon

I've ran into the problem of being bombed without knowing, sinking to the bottom of the ocean and dying too many times.
How do I remedy this?

Stay submerged during the day.

They get me at periscope depth somehow.
I am also playing with limited batteries.

That's kinda the reason of the mod.

To make it a little harder. We call it realism.

Well is there any way I could be notified at high time warp before I die?

The game does not alway stop you for enemy. Dive to 150 feet or better. Planes can see you at periscope depth.

During the day you need to stay submerged. This is your first defense against enemy. You can only make about 2-3 knots to conserve the batteries. You surface at night to recharge the batteries and do some surface hunting.

That is about it. Prayer helps also. Learn to use the capability of the submarine. Silent, invisible and faster than the merchants!

If you snorkel then you leave yourself open for aircraft attack. Remember, planes can see you just below the surface.
